Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomBed was quite uncomfortable and room was very small (to be expected for the price I guess). AC was ineffective so room was quite hot, this seemed to be an issue for friends in other rooms too.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and hotel is very convenient for train station access.

United KingdomI was confused about the hole in the bathroom door as a handle. There was only one towel to start with.
There was only one towel provided but staff were happy enough to give us a second one (even if it was after 10pm when we returned from a concert).

United KingdomThe TV didn't work. There was a bad smell from the plumbing in both rooms, but particularly the accessible room.
Very pleasant welcome from the staff. The hotel is ideally placed for getting to the station - it's a short walk, and one that my mother managed with relative ease despite needing to use a walking aid.

United KingdomMy room didn't have a window & felt a little the more basic without one. Perhaps it mentioned this on my booking but I never noticed. A desk of some description would be useful for business travellers. If space is an issue a drop down version would suffice.
The clean contemporary look is very appealing. Location works well for city centre needs & very handy for New Street Station. There is also a good range of places to eat within a short walk of the hotel.

PhilippinesYou can hear the music inside the room from the restaurant next to the building until 11pm. I wish there’s a small table and chair where you can put your bag on or where you can sit to eat.
Eliza (staff) was really helpful and kind. The room is super clean and the location is very good.

United KingdomI had to book a double bedroom even if I was a solo traveller. Having a window in the room required me to pay £15 more, which is a bit ridiculous because having natural light in a bedroom is basic need, and nonetheless the window was facing a run-down building
The room was cleaned. The receptionists were promptly available and accommodating. Location really good and safe.

United KingdomThere was no window and I knew that when I booked the room but it turned out to be horrible feeling. For the same price you can get a room with a window and you can actually walk in the room instead of rolling over the bed to get to the other side. There were no side tables, so things were either on the floor or in the bed, which was frustrating. There was barely a door on the bathroom (see-through and a hole for a handle). The corridors were loud and as soon as you walk into the room you can see the shower and you can see into the corridor from the shower. The decor was cold and the lighting was white and it felt like a dentists office.
The location was great and the shower and bathroom were really clean.

United Kingdomthe room was pretty basic for the value of money and the room smelt of smoke which was unpleasant. I was highly disappointed because the photos did not look like the room I got.
I liked how close it was to the train station as well as to the city centre, the staff were lovely and friendly.
